Location information

Thunder Bay (formerly Port Arthur) is a city and port on the north-western coast of Lake Superior. During the 1939-1945 War a prisoner of war camp was set up nearby. This cemetery, which is privately owned, lies at the city limits, 4 kilometres west of the Canadian National Railway station, Thunder Bay. It contains war graves of both world wars.
